*Cinderella's POV*

"Cinderella!!!" I heard my stepmother shriek from her bedroom. I groaned and headed over to her room.

"There you are! Before you go to school you need to vacuum the house, do the dishes, and dust the living room. When you get home I will have more for you to do. The party is tonight you know." I nodded and left to start on my morning chores. The only down part about being in college and having later classes is the fact that she can make me do more chores. As I was walking to start on the dishes I passed by my fathers photo. I stopped and looked at it for a minute. It was a photo of him in his uniform. He was a marine and was sent out to Afghanistan. Unfortunately he never was able to make it home alive. I miss him so much. He was my best friend. My mom died when I was 5, and ever since then it was me and my dad. We did everything together. As I got older, I could tell he was getting kind of lonely. That's why when he met Vivian I was so happy. When they were dating, I loved her. She was so nice to me, she was kind, caring, funny, and sweet. I could tell she really loved my dad and he loved her too, but all that changed. Once they got married, she was still the same. She didn't change until the soldiers were at our doorstep delivering the worst news that you could imagine. Ever since then I think she picks on me slightly because I remind her of my father. I know she loved him, and it's hard on her, I just wish she didn't treat me like she does.

When Vivian and my father got married, I gained 2 new step sisters, Alicia and Beth. We got along great at first, but just like their mom, they changed as well. Their mom started putting them first and they became top priority while I was stuck on the outside. They all treated me more like a maid than family. I have to stick with them though, they are the only family I've got. I am, however, saving up money from my part time job at a local smoothie shop to move out. I don't want to be picked on anymore, I want to live my life.

Once I was finished doing everything she asked, I grabbed my backpack and went out to my car. My car was a compete pice of crap, but I loved it. I saved up from the time I was 14 until I was 17. I am now 19 and saving up to move out. I was lucky enough to get a full ride for college, I wouldn't have been able to pay for it myself.

"Hey you." My best friend Daphanie greeted me sitting down in the chair next to me. We had almost every class together which was awesome because I can't hang out too much outside of school. You know, chores and all.

"Hey" I said smiling up at her.

"So tonights the party, huh?" She asked.

"Yeah. You should come by. Vivian promised me if I got all the chores done, I could go to the party for a little while. Everyones going to be there. You can flirt with all the rich, attractive men." I said nudging her.

"Alright, I think I can. How could I turn down flirting with those kinds of men?" she said and we started laughing.

When I got home I found a note taped to the door.

Cinderella,
Dust the whole house, help everyone set up for the party, lay out the food, clean all the windows, pick up the girls dresses, finish the laundry, sweep and mop the kitchen, weed the grade, then, after you are all done with that, if there is any time at all, you may come to the party for a little while.
-Vivian

I sighed as I read the note. I was determined to go to the party for at least a little while tonight. We are hosting it at my house, I think I should be able to go..

*Charlie's POV* (a.k.a. Prince Charming)

I hope to see you at our party tonight ;)
xoxo Alicia

Can't wait to dance with you tonight, it's going to be magical!
Beth

I read both texts and sighed. Alicia and Beth were having a party tonight and everyone who is everyone is invited. They both constantly try to get my attention and get me to ask them out, but to be honest, I don't like them. They are kind of stuck up, spoiled brats. A little harsh? Well it's a little true.. Every girl here wants me because I have a lot of money, or because of how I look. I just want to be able to be myself around a girl and to finally have someone like me for who I am. Is that too much to ask for..? Apparently.. I got up and started getting ready for the party tonight. It was a masquerade so it will be kind of nice, maybe they won't know who I am and leave me alone. I quickly headed into the shower and sighed again. Tonight is going to be a long night..
